Have you ever had first time anal with your best friend/ex-fiancee in a jacuzzi room at Disneyland? Comedian/Writer/Producer April Kidwell and her butt buddy Scott are having a hard time in their relationship, going from broken limbs to life tragedy to a sports injury that breaks *another* leg. So they escape by going on holiday and pushing each other’s wheelchairs from Space Mountain to Star Wars World - and then polish it off with an inaugural booty blast back in the hotel room. But the real world always bubbles up eventually, doesn’t it? What a mess! #EnterThruTheExit #FrontOfTheLine #LifeIsMessy
Song: ‘Let’s fall in love for the night’ (Finneas)

Episode 229: ‘PungeonMaster‘ (Mosa Maxwell-Smith)
Do you suffering from Witzelsucht (an obsession with groan-worthy puns and jokes)? Preschool teacher Mosa Maxwell-Smith tingles with glee when people roll their eyes at her puns, wondering how she might extend that thrill to the bedroom. Driven by loneliness, she bravely attends a live /Augmented reality sex party and meets Van, a thoughtful, compassionate person who helps her explore new territory: flogging, their shared organizational kink, paronomasia-related memes and Mosa’s burgeoning boundaries. #SelfCareIsSoxy #VirtualWorld #Kinkshamed #Brattiness #BestFriendsDay
Song: ‘Fever Dream’ (mxmtoon)
About the Storyteller:
When Mosa Maxwell-Smith first discovered storytelling she craved it so much that she started hosting story parties with friends in her living room. That was 2011, before the Moth was even in the Bay Area. She is elated by the explosion of storytelling as an art form and connector of humans over the last decade, and has been privileged to perform regularly at a variety of venues, including Story Slam Oakland, the Mill Valley Library, and (always a favorite) Bawdy. She also tells stories on a daily basis in her role as a preschool teacher (though the content is usually slightly different and the audiences smaller). Mosa is a devotee of connection and serendipity and is grateful to Dixie De La Tour for bringing more of both to her life through the gift of Bawdy. She is always delighted to be out past bedtime on a school night, telling stories to someone other than her cats.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pun: The pun, also known as paronomasia, is a form of wordplay that involves exploiting the ambiguous meanings of words, typically of homophonic (similar sounding), homographic (identically spelled), metonymic (same meaning) or otherwise figurative nature, for humorous or rhetorical effect.

Episode 231: ‘Take a Load Off‘ (Matthew Beld)
How do you give and receive pleasure while detaching from gender expectations? Storyteller and writer Matthew Beld has spent the Pandemic isolating and reflecting on who they really are, so a first time road trip celebration with new sluts feels daunting. Should they join the ass buffet? Can they be part of the orgy in the hot tub? As this proud slut embraces a more expansive non-binary identity, Matthew learns that the right people can help you find joy and connection - and that you don’t really have to know yet. It’s a bold choice, but you have to respect the confidence! #Nonbinary #ThatDressTho #Trans #TheMeatHasToGoSomewhere
Song: ‘I’m Good’ (The Mowgli’s)
